Wow had no idea. Hope all ok.

Ah okay that sounds much worse than the ones I gambled on, think we managed to be lucky they all seemed to kick off as we were leaving

Was pretty bad Tuesday and Wednesday while we were still there, fires in the streets around our hotel in Eixample. We were in a restaurant till after midnight Tuesday but when we got back the taxi had to drop us off two streets down as there were barricades and roads closed. This was the street on the corner of our hotel as we were walking back:

No it was estanc 215 near the university, they had a small humidor, all heavily aged or discontinued stuff but cracked wrappers. Didn't head down to the gothic quarter in the end as I was already overspent on my first trip out. Plus we were trying to avoid the protests after Monday.

Haven't seen the Du Prince pack of 5 for ages, enjoy your find! Yes, I know they were discontinued in 2006 but not being a high volume seller I am sure they were available for a few years afterwards. Anyone else found one recently?

I picked some up in Cyprus last year.

Was that the place in the Gothic quarter I'd mentioned? Some of the stock was definitely dubious and the humidity was on the high side but I decided to chance it and have set them aside to settle for a month or two then I'll check them out.

There were a number of tabacs with boxes of Monte's just out on the shelf too, wonder how long it'll be til us lot have cleared out Barca!

I did find some bandless Des Dieux, almost a full box but the storage in the shop (more like a newsagents than a B&M) was more than questionable and the cigars didn't look in the best condition. Was thinking about risking it but I was already over budget.

Probably a good call Potpest, I recall shops like that before Habanos insisted all tabac's selling their products should have a walk-in humi. I saw some really dodgy stuff & some in small humi's (rather just on the shelf like the barbers), where the humidity was never close to what it should be.
